Guild Wars 2

It blows my mind that other professions still think that thief is some unstoppable force from 2012. Thief is a class that is drowning and other players are holding our head under water. Why? Because this doesn’t effect their class. The more thief is nerfed, the stronger their class becomes.

So how can we effect these players in a way that would finally show them that we need help?

Queue ranked on only your thieves and do not swap classes. 2 thieves! 3 thieves! 5 thieves! It don’t matter. Face it ranked means nothing right now. The leaderboard is turned off and leagues haven’t began. Eventually these players will be tired of losing because they have multiple thieves and will actually want change.

…or this could just be wishful thinking and people will still cry, “thief OP!”

nah they will just report you for trolling/botting because you didn’t switch prof

Even after this patch, while playing S/D against a Guardian, when we won the fight because I was the +1, I got told to spam 3 more. We’re always going to be OP, unless we’re on their team, at which point we’re ‘trying to lose.’

We should organize a thief PVP protest . Go PVP and stay AFK (because thief is dead weight anyway), PVP should be fun to play.

Reminds me of this dude calling thief “broken kittener no counterplay” when I killed him because he was zerker amulet longbow camping ranger. Thief will always be “op” class for some people.

It will always be easier to cry for a nerf than to improve oneself.

Then Anet gets swarmed with silly reports they can’t take action on.
They’d be forced to fix the class to stop the negative mentality or continue looking at and ignoring the reports.

Wait a second, so.. its illegal to play thief on PvP?
Wut? I don’t play any other prof. so I can’t play ranked?
Wtf is happening to this game..

We have become Quantum Teef. We are both OP and useless at the same time.

I say don’t queue. If Anet cares they’ll notice the miniscule thief metrics and wonder why.

That’s a mighty big “if” at this juncture…

The numbers won’t drop because there will always be casuals that play for fun and how they want to (in blue/green gear). That and RP-ers.

If arenanet expects pvp to be taken seriously then they will need to release a leaderboard. Any leaderboard worth a dmn will mention profession. It will become abundantly clear pretty quickly that thieves are garbage. Whether they react appropriately to that information is another question. They haven’t so far so there’s no reason to expect they will in the future but I could be wrong.
